From what I've seen if the domain is down and the nostr.config file containing the userhandle and pubkey doesn't load, then the 'verified' symbol currently goes away. This would mean having to re-verify using another provider or self-verify using your own domain I guess.

Could another user verify that handle in the meantime? Thanks for the answer.

Since handles are not unique on its own, but pubkeys are, it's possible to have the same handles. However, this means you would need to trust who owns the domain to not assign jason@nostrplebs.com to some other user's pubkey.

Makes sense. Thank you for the explanation.

You're welcome 🤙

If I were to turn the server off right now, no one can register that same NIP-05 ID until they buy the domain after it expires in a year. But as I said, I have no plans on letting either of these things happening :)

We need a decentralized DNS service. Like .eth (on Eth) and .btc (Stacks), but without the need for a shitcoin. Is there anything you’re aware of?

namecoin was supposed to do this a decade ago but never really took off. i'm not aware of anything else since then?

urbit.

I’ve seen that on my ⚡️node. Will check it out

Domain is SAFU

Thank you for the NIP!
